Interior point algorithms for solving linear programs have been studied extensively for a long time [e.g. Karmarkar 1984; Lee, Sidford FOCS'14; Cohen, Lee, Song STOC'19]. For linear programs of the form $\min_{Ax=b, x \ge 0} c^\top x$ with…
We consider the quadratic optimization problem $\max_{x \in C}\ x^T Q x + q^T x$, where $C\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ is a box and $r := \mathrm{rank}(Q)$ is assumed to be $\mathcal{O}(1)$ (i.e., fixed). We show that this case can be solved in…
Consider a linear program of the form $\max\;c^{\top}x:Ax\leq b$, where $A$ is an $m\times n$ integral matrix. In 1986 Cook, Gerards, Schrijver, and Tardos proved that, given an optimal solution $x^{*}$, if an optimal integral solution…
